The Future Of Rotax Radiator Covers In The USA

15 03 2010

I have heard from a few sources that a new product called Master Damper will be approved by  USRMC for use instead of the traditional tape. It is a pretty cool system and is available in mechanical where you have to reach over and open the shutters yourself (my favorite) or the lazy man with a bicycle gear shifter that opens it up for you with a couple clicks.

Jacques Villeneuve Carries 2010 Olympic Torch

15 02 2010

I thought it was pretty cool to see one of Canada’s top drivers get to carry the Olympic torch and partake in the opening ceremonies carrying the flag. Having carried the torch myself a couple days ago I know what a huge honor that is and how exciting it was.

Villeneuve once upon a time was World Champion and he was the man to beat. At one point he was untouchable. He is still one of my favorite drivers even though he may not be a fan forite.

Congratulations Villeneuve!!

Day 2 – Rotax Grand Finals $1.7 Million US in Karts

7 12 2009

Picture 3

Day 2 is almost coming to an end. The morning started off with a quick drivers meeting and then the 2009 Lottery kicked off with the Juniors.

Once everyone got there chassis all the teams were off to assemble the chassis and get them ready for tomorrow morning. It is always an amazing view to see 216 chassis that are brand new sitting outfront on the track.

I estimate that is about $1.5 million to 1.7 million US  retail value worth of karts and motors. Very cool.
